A new fiber probe developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin delivers two major innovations in health ...

Accurate diagnosis of cancer typically requires removal of a tissue sample for analysis, but optical alternatives to these biopsy procedures would be faster, less invasive and potentially more precise ...

Miniaturized sensors mounted upon optical fibers are widely recognized as an important future solution to instant and point-of-care medical diagnosis and on-site agricultural produce inspection.

Researchers developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. It can be immersed in a variety of liquids and doesn't need any additional ...
